fyi, why do you find this noteworthy? It is the expected outcome based on my understanding of the trends globally around wealth inequality over more than a decade. That "last place" defines much of rural MAGA, but a lot of them and many more talk about it without race. The elites / oligarchs (though not the words they necessarily use) are more often the cause (maybe as portrayed by the govt and globalists?)

This replication, even years later, suggests that the feeling among some White Americans that they are “last place,” even if tied for it, has been a persistent under- current in U.S. politics
